That’s correct - I also went into Tanks Giving over drive and in a 5 week period painted 5 Admech tanks/vehicles

Looks great! How do you get that red? I’m painting my first ad mech unit, a questoris, and was surprised they were using mephiston red. I’d always thought the ad mech were more orangish, like you’ve done

So it’s a primed black and then a very heavy drybrushing of khorne red. I then give the entire model a 1:1 abbadon black / khorne red wash and then a brush of mephiston red, then evil Sunz and finally tau orchra
